Both pair started with copper heart blanks that I hammered to soften the edges and punched. I then enameled them using my new torch-firing knowledge, c/o Barbara Lewis and finished them off with some pretty Hill Tribe silver beads and hand-wrought sterling earwires.

Hearts
2 new pair of earrings made this past week to bump up my inventory for Sunday's Arts Market...don't ask! Okay, you can ask...it was totally a bust. The cold and damp day made for virtually no foot traffic, and the ones that did venture in must have left their wallets at home :(

This week's goal is to get all my recently created pretties into my shops...can't sell them if no one can see them ;)

Well, it is their loss! These are beautiful! It's hard enough to get sales these days at art markets without Mother Nature mucking it up!
ReplyDeleteLove what you're doing, Melissa, with the enameling.
